A space to design, plan, and create
Location: Eldon Building
The Architecture Studios are located over three floors in Eldon Building, the home of our Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI). The studios are large open-plan, flexible learning spaces, where students engage in tutored learning and individual and group work.
Multiple 'studios' or groups use these spaces, and they're designed to encourage a studio culture of collaboration, creativity, and dialogue in the design process. They have zones for quiet working, research, and access to computers and informal group spaces.
The studios are also used as a large exhibition area for student work during the annual Graduate Show.
